Iran: The International Arena

Iran poses a series of long term and short term challenges to Israel. In the international arena, Iran is aligning itself with a bloc led by Russia and China, and distancing itself from the West, primarily the United States, which withdrew from the nuclear agreement in 2018.

For a deeper understanding of the challenges Iran poses to Israel, the Iran reserch field monitors its international activities. The Iran research field maintains ties with leading research institutes around the world, conducts simulations with Israeli and foreign entities, maintains regular brainstorming forums with experts from the academic and governmental community, and conducts regular briefings for foreign diplomats serving in Israel, as well as for journalists from Israel and abroad.
